Er, no it isn't.
Depending on how far advanced the condition it could be extremely dangerous for them to drive.
I have had relatives who had alzheimers and it was dangerous enough for them to walk let alone drive. |

Not really. My friend's husband started with Alzheimer's last year and she drives him everyplace. Recently he became irritated waiting for her to drive him someplace so he went by himself. He had no trouble driving but he came home and said he couldn't remember where it was he wanted to go. |

Depends what their reflexes and short term memory are like. If they use the car for a familiar route and they have good sight,hearing and reflexes then it is probably helping their Independence . Taking someones licence away is always based on their safety and risks to others |

Previous studies demonstrate that poor driving performance increases with increased dementia severity.
However, not all people with Alzheimer's are unsafe drivers at a given point in time.
What's more, drivers with dementia are not in more crashes than non-demented elderly drivers, suggesting that dementia should not be the sole justification for suspending driving privileges.
Instead, an on-the-road driving test, or other functional test, is the best way to assess driving skills in dementia. |

probably yes it is safe for moderate altziemers.
But they might forget where they parked! |
